Camping and Painting

The other day we decided to go outside and ride bikes.  It turned into more of a take the tents outside and eat Popsicles and read books kind of day.  It was really quite relaxing and a fun way to enjoy the warm weather we are having.

Liam's tent (or tribe, as he was calling it) is the one on the left.


Erin and Owen shared the other one.


Our other activity for the week was painting.  Erin kept asking and asking and asking and finally I gave in.  They had a lot of fun.  I had to give Owen his own plate of colors because he didn't quite get the concept of not mixing the colors.  My family will recognize the lovely shirts they are wearing.  Don't you all love yours?

Love when they are getting along and sharing!!


Liam and his soon-to-be masterpiece.


Erin very carefully would make circles of each color, making sure they didn't touch.  She made two of those and then made her people pictures.


Owen just got messy...


and ate the paint.  But had loads of fun!
